  • Anatomie des organes et viscères

    Tête, cou et tronc
    • 1st Edition
    • Michel Dufour
    • French
    L'anatomie se heurte souvent à une pédagogie descriptive relativement aride, avec une mémorisation basée sur un « par cœur » décourageant vite les bonnes volontés, notamment pour l'étude des viscères, organes et régions topographiques de la tête, du cou et du tronc. La bonne compréhension de ces structures anatomiques est toutefois indispensable à l'activité quotidienne des kinésithérapeutes. Cet ouvrage complète les 3 tomes d'Anatomie de l'appareil locomoteur, tout en gardant la même présentation par tableaux systématisée et synoptique illustrés d'un ou plusieurs schémas explicatifs.L'iconog... originale, tout en couleurs, répond au même souci de clarté, de simplicité et de vision spatiale. L'étudiant pourra entrer facilement dans des connaissances dépouillées au maximum de leur complexité sans pour autant tomber dans la vulgarisation, centrées sur l'essentiel et documentées.

  • Automation and Emerging Technology in Clinical Microbiology, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 33-3
    • Carey-Ann D. Burnham
    • English
    The field of Clinical Microbiology is evolving at a rapid pace, perhaps more so than any other arm of laboratory medicine. This can be attributed to new technology, including high throughput gene sequencing, multiplex molecular assays, rapid evolution of antimicrobial resistance, and discovery of new pathogens. In addition, modern medical procedures, such as solid organ and stem cell transplantation, have resulted in an explosion of infections with agents that historically have been considered to be of low virulence. This issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine will highlight some of the advances in diagnostic microbiology, including MALDI-TOF MS, pathogen discovery, and personalized antimicrobial chemotherapy. In addition, one of the papers will focus on implementation of new technologies and how to maximize patient impact of these new methods.

Whether for job or career or personal reasons, this procedure has a positive outcome for them.”

Together, they ensure the heart of the Concept beats on by promoting collaborative decision-making with the patient at centre and emphasizing the art and science of observation, listening, palpation and movement skills.A key feature of the new edition focuses on a more evidence-based and analytical view of the role of mobilization and manipulation in clinical practice. The authors have written in a way that reflects their application of the Maitland Concept and how they have integrated techniques in the light of advancement in professional knowledge. Each chapter stands alone as a ‘master class’.The text is systematically arranged focusing on detailed assessment, clinical reasoning and re-assessment to determine the physical dysfunction and efficacy of manipulative physiotherapy techniques, while also advocating continuous communication and interaction. Techniques of passive mobilization are also described, specifically designed around the individual patient’s condition.All the chapters are written from a clinical perspective and review the evidence which informs how to deal with and manage peripheral joint pain as they present to the practitioner. Furthermore, each peripheral region (craniomandibular, upper limbs and lower limbs) is considered from the point of view of best practice in analysing and hypothesising subjective data, examination, treatment and management of peripheral pain conditions.Brand new to the fifth edition is the addition of a companion website – Maitland’s Manipulation eResources (www.maitlandsresour... – providing access to a range of valuable learning materials which include videos, MCQs, interactive case studies, research links, and bonus chapters."Overall this text would be an excellent resource to any practising physiotherapist or health professional within musculoskeletal and orthopaedics from the new graduate to the experienced clinician."

  • Bientraitance et qualité de vie

    Prévenir les maltraitances pour des soins et une relation d'aide humanistes
    • 1st Edition
    • Michel Schmitt + 1 more
    • French
    La société demande aux professionnels de santé une « prise en soin » rapide, efficace, standardisée – pour offrir à tous les mêmes chances – et peu onéreuse. La personne accueillie attend quant à elle un soin personnalisé, des soignants disponibles, de l'écoute, de la chaleur humaine. Le professionnel peut se sentir perdu entre ces exigences et ces besoins contradictoires, et ses propres attentes de reconnaissance et de valorisation. Les maltraitances « ordinaires » qui surviennent au quotidien dans tous nos établissements résultent souvent de cet état de fait. Elles ne doivent pas être acceptées et doivent être connues, dépistées et prévenues. Les professionnels doivent être formés pour savoir comment réagir face à ces déviances. Cet ouvrage collectif dresse un panorama complet de la problématique de la bientraitance en milieux de soins. Après avoir situé le contexte historique et idéologique de la bientraitance et défini les notions essentielles (humanisme médical, éthique et sens du soin), juridiques et réglementaires, il donne les clés pour reconnaître une situation de maltraitance et savoir comment réagir. Bientraitance et maltraitance sont tour à tour décortiquées à travers des témoignages de patients, de proches, et de soignants, des résultats d'enquêtes, et des exemples concrets propres à chacune des spécialités abordées (accompagnement en fin de vie, médecine pénitentiaire, cancérologie, imagerie, médecine humanitaire, néonatalogie, infectiologie, prise en charge médicosociale, etc.). Tous les points de vue sont pris en compte afin de proposer des solutions réalistes qui permettront aux équipes soignantes de retrouver le sens de leur métier et de mettre en place les conditions propices à une véritable qualité de vie au travail.

    Prepared by an international authority, Therapeutic Stretching: Towards a Functional Approach offers a highly accessible account of the latest information regarding the role of therapeutic stretching in the management of restricted range of movement (ROM) disorders. Richly illustrated throughout, this exciting new volume covers the physiological basis of stretching, explores its classification and examines what is normal and abnormal in terms of ROM. Chapters then explain the processes that are associated with ROM loss and recovery as well as what makes stretching effective. The experience of pain, sensitization and pain tolerance in relation to stretching and ROM recovery are also discussed. Embracing the latest scientific research, this revolutionary book debunks many traditionally accepted stretching theories and associated techniques and supplants them with a more robust, scientifically valid system of practice. Accompanied by a range of practical on-line videos and over 150 photographs, this volume will be ideal for all manual and physical therapists, sports and personal trainers, and athletes who require special movement ranges.
